Ever since their initial conception, weapons that use gunpowder have come in a variety of shapes and sizes. One of the main aims of firearm design over the years has been to make the weapons smaller and easier to handle. There are some cases, however, when this is put aside and the weapons are made with anything but subtlety in mind. Here are a few examples of oversized guns used throughout history.

This might not be a popular fact, but the Persians also used the Jezail muskets and later Musket rifles during the Russo-Persian wars. Even though the Persians ultimately lost their possessions in Northern Iraq to the Ottomans, and the Caucasus ranges, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan to Russia in 1722, the Persians did inflict massive casualties on the Russians because of the Jezail "rifled" muskets.

My favourite ridiculous ammunition is the Eargesplitten Loudenboomer, which is a .378 Weatherby cartridge necked down to .22LR. It fires at up to 4600f/s, a .50 BMG is only 3000f/s. It was only an experimental cartridge but set the .22 world speed record.

There's also a wall gun, an extremely oversized gigantic musket either mounted on a wall or carried by 2 men. It's used to repel attacks and could be used as a makeshift punt gun if the enemy are close enough. "What's this?" "Its a wall gun" "Is it supposed to be mounted on a wall or to destroy walls?" "good question" Anyway: here's the wall gun firing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UEyHZUW9LFE.htmlsi=4W58QViipLfsQOEz

8:10 A matchlock muskets range was often just over 600 metres Flintlocks like the brown Bess are closer to 800 and the jesail was most likely able to shoot another 50-150 meters past that The accurate range of a flintlock musket in which 90 percent or more hitrates are found on single targets it is around 80 metres so the jesail could most likely hit most rounds at around 100 metres, both nearly always used past the accurate range I am surprised early muskets werent mentioned, arquebusses start popping tf off around 1510 and with little way to increase strength of the iron muskets got massive, often given a fork rest to increase precision when aiming

The Ukrainian military has apparently armed squads with what can be described as modern day anti-tank rifles. They can't actually pierce the armor of tanks or even most armored vehicles. Instead, they're used to punch holes in logistics trucks, damage radar equipment, and on rare occasion eliminate infantry. All this while upwards of a mile or even two miles away. It takes two men to carry them. They hit their target then swiftly stow the gun in the back of a truck and drive away.

I think the oversized for training guns were meant as demonstration not for the soldiers to train with them. Their numbers do not collaborate on any use during training. I believe it was oversized soo the instructor could show the thing to multiple people at once in groups.
